Our Adoption Update

I just realized I don't think I've even posted on this blog that we are trying to adopt a child from Uganda. Sorry if this is new news to you - we've actually been looking into it since last Christmas and things are moving along pretty well, all things considering. We've learned a lot about international adoption within these past six months and still have much to learn but we truly feel the call from God to adopt and are seeking to follow His will.

The girls just received their passports and we're excited to travel to Uganda together as a family when it's time to adopt our child. You can follow our story on our adoption blog here. We truly appreciate your prayers for guidance and discernment as we learn through this process and wait on God's timing - often times a hard lesson to learn ;-)

Celebrating Independence Day

This year, to celebrate the 4th of July, we...

saw Midlife Crisis in concert and watched the fireworks at Stone Canyon in Owasso...

watched fireworks at Freedom Fest at Freedom Church...

went to Steve's parents for a 4th of July family gathering...

And we did our yearly tradition of watching fireworks from our roof...

Last year, during the 4th of July, Steve was on his missions trip to Uganda so we were all pretty happy to be celebrating together as a family this year! Fun times and fun memories ;-)

Back From Uganda!

I just got back from a missions trip to Uganda and had an amazing time! Our team consisted of about 15 people and we had so much fun hanging out with kids living at Calo Me Lare, an orphanage that Project Hope Worldwide built. To see pics & videos of our trip, please visit my Uganda trip blog here.
